Anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made his White House bid official Wednesday with a campaign kick-off event in Boston, standing alongside his actress wife, Cheryl Hines.
Kennedy gave a rambling speech, remarking how the U.S. would have a 'really funny first lady' if he's elected, while admitting that most of the Kennedy clan wasn't backing his run for the Democratic nomination against President Joe Biden.
'There are other members of my family who are not here today,' the 69-year-old Kennedy scion said to laughs after giving shout-outs to the handful who were in the crowd. 'I know most American families - they never have any differences with each other,' he said sarcastically.
He spoke about how his family members 'have different views on politics in this country' and have 'long personal relationships with President Biden' - as a number of Kennedys work for the current administration.
Kennedy said they disagreed with him on issues including government censorship, war and public health - alluding to his prominent vaccine skepticism.
'And I love them back,' the newly minted candidate noted, telling the crowd that family members wrote him 'beautiful letters of love' this week ahead of his announcement, as well as calling and emailing him.
'We have a polarization in this country today that is so toxic and so dangerous at any time since the Civil War,' Kennedy said. 'And part of the principle mission of my campaign and on my presidency is going to be to end that division.'
'I'll try to do that by encouraging people to talk about the values that we have in common, rather than the issues that keep us apart,' Kennedy added.

Really Jon When were they President ?
One is not necessarily saying that one is going to vote for RFKJr, but one is going to get oneself a big-assed RFKJr sign just to mess with one’s liberal neighbors.
I didn’t know Kennedy was married to Cheryl Hines (Larry David’s TV wife) - that’s hilarious. I always liked her in that show.
He’s the anti-Obama - white, intellectual, long history in politics, poor speaking voice, actually wrote books, willing to buck some leftist themes.
Its why he doesn’t stand a chance in the deep-state controlled Democrat Party
Does it matter what his view are? I knew exactly what Teddy’s views were as well as his driving ability, yet I was delighted that he challenged Carter for the 1980 Demorat nomination. Resources were diverted to fend off the challenge to Carter.
Likewise, RFK, Jr will raise doubts about Biden, doubts raised by a Democrat-that is good!
they were both so distasteful to voters, they allowed Him to romp his way into the WH.
I found these on his Twitter account. Some give an idea of his positions.
“And regulatory agencies need to be on the side of the small business, the American public and children’s house, rather than the multinational corporations who want to subjugate and commoditize us.”
“Of the $319 million Bill Gates gave to media outlets by November 2021,NPR received $24,663,000 and PBS got at least $4 million. In return those “public interest”broadcasters aired flattering reports on Gates’s corrupt self dealing and profiteering on his global vaccine projects and his hostile takeover of WHO. Gates’s climate strategy is top down social control and geo engineering projects for which he owns the IP. While shorting Tesla,he has invested heavily in fossil fuels,rail ,private jet companies and chemical pesticides and petroleum based AG.He accurately characterizes his approach as “ philanthrocapitalism”-a strategy of amplifying his billions by appearing to solve social problems with technologies that he controls and profits from.”
Add on
The Constitution
Gun control
Parental Rights
Individual Rights
The list continues
This will be interesting to watch...
On the one hand they know Biden is toast, but on the other hand Kennedy sees the deep state for what it is, which is amazing for a Democrat.
This is going to be interesting if it goes anywhere.
It would be much better if he did get the nomination and we had a couple of candidates to choose from who do actually love the country and have its best interests at heart. If the Democrat Establishment screws him over as I suspect it will, that can only help President Trump.
What does he have other than a couple failed marriages and drug abuse when he was younger? I think, given the trauma of seeing his father and uncle murdered at a young age, the public will be willing to understand why he abused drugs as a young man. As for the failed marriages, I don’t think anybody cares. Trump is on his 3rd marriage after all.
This is the formal announcement. He already said he’d be running the first week of April. Unfortunately, he’ll be to the race and Biden what a gnat is in someone else’s ear.
Agreed.
I guess we’ll just disagree then. I don’t think most people want to see another Kennedy Dynasty back in th WhiteHouse.
Kennedy gave a rambling speech, sez it all. they don’t like him because he goes against all of the lies they have been feeding us and the monies they have been receiving under the table to do so
Well for one thing Larry David’s star is big on abortion and I believe RFK is too.
You actually believe those books weren’t ghost written?
Proof please!
